Day 10: Nature

Take time today to observe nature.

It may be the first sign of life in the flowers if winter is beginning to fade. Perhaps it is the movement of the clouds above, or the gentle sounds of the birds journeying from tree to tree.

I am presently in Northern California, soaking in the green grass, large redwoods and the plenitude of wildlife that crosses my path. I will soon return home to the East Coast, where nature is preparing to be born once again. Present to the moment, I find this experience to be precious, teaching me to slow my internal rhythm, to be open to what cannot be controlled, and to embrace the unknown.

May you take time today to pause and allow all of God’s creation to transition from the background of your day to your main focus and spiritual guide.
